Team News: Sergio Ramos, Gareth Bale out for Real Madrid

Rafael Benitez makes just two changes to his Real Madrid lineup for their La Liga clash with Granada, with Sergio Ramos and Gareth Bale both absent through injury.

Rafael Benitez makes just two changes to his Real Madrid lineup for today's La Liga clash with Granada, with Sergio Ramos and Gareth Bale both absent through injury.

Both players were expected to be missing after Ramos suffered a dislocated shoulder and Bale picked up a calf injury in the 4-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League opener in midweek.

Pepe comes in for Ramos in the centre of defence, but there is something of a surprise when it comes to Bale's replacement, with Lucas Vazquez making just his second league appearance for the club.

Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Isco continue in midfield, while Cristiano Ronaldo will be looking to add to his tally of eight goals in the last two games.

For the visitors, on-loan Marseille defender Doria comes in at centre-back, while Edgar Mendez is preferred to Ruben Perez as part of an attacking trio playing behind striker Youssef El-Arabi.

Real Madrid: Navas; Carvajal, Varane, Pepe, Marcelo; Modric, Kroos, Isco; Vazquez, Ronaldo, Benzema
Subs: Casilla, Nacho, Casemiro, Kovacic, Arbeloa, Jese, Cheryshev

Granada: Fernandez; Miguel Lopes, Doria, Lomban, Biraghi; Krhin, Javi Marquez; Success, Rochina, Mendez; El Arabi
